Empty chair at 2pm.

When a client cancels, we have a publish-ready draft on your phone before you finish the next blowout. You approve the words. We handle the rest.

The math nobody talks about

You lost three hours of revenue today and didn't even know.

A cancellation at 9. A no-show at 11. A hole between 4 and 6. Each one a chair you can't refill because by the time you've finished the client in front of you, the window's already closed.

The average independent stylist loses $8,000 to $12,000 a year to dead zones that could have been filled with a single, well-timed post, if there had been time to write one.

There wasn't.

How it works

Three things happen. You only do one of them.

01

We see the gap.

Foilwork watches your booking platform in real time. The second a cancellation hits, we know. And we know how much time is left to fill it.

02

We draft the post.

Whether it's a same-day cancellation or your batch for the week ahead, we pick the right photo, write the copy in your salon's tone, and pre-load the location pins, hashtag stickers, and mentions you already use.

You approve in a tap.

We send it to your phone. You approve, edit, or skip. Stories publish instantly to fill the same-day slot. Feed posts schedule for peak engagement.

Push notification · One-tap approve
Two modes, one inbox

Beyond the empty chair.

Cancellations are the urgent use case. The rest of the week is the quiet baseline. Foilwork drafts both. You approve both. Your feed never goes silent.

When a chair opens up

Reactive fills.

The second a cancellation hits, we draft a Story to your phone. Approve in seconds. The slot fills before you finish the next blowout.

  • Triggered by booking platform events
  • Stories first, optimized for same-day DMs
  • 24-hour expiry matches the use case
Throughout the week

Scheduled cadence.

Sunday evening, we draft your week ahead: feed posts and Stories built around your portfolio, your services, and your booking patterns. Swipe through them all at once or one at a time.

  • Whole week drafted before Monday
  • Feed posts schedule for peak engagement
  • Skip what doesn't feel right, edit what does
The non-negotiable

Nothing publishes without your tap.

Your feed is your portfolio. We built Foilwork around that fact. Every post lands in your queue first, and nothing ships until you tap.

  • You see it before clients do. One tap to approve. Tap again to edit. Skip without explanation. Auto-posting is off by default and stays off.
  • Edits take seconds, not minutes. Tap to swap the photo, edit the copy in place, change the hashtag set. The whole approval flow is built for someone holding shears in the other hand.
  • If you don't approve, we don't post. Quiet days happen. We never default to "post anyway" because we know what the wrong post does to your brand.

The numbers

About a 10× return, give or take a balayage.

Stylists who fill even a third of their dead zones with timely posts recover the cost of the tool in the first month. The rest of the year is upside.

Net return

For an established stylist booking $80k+ behind the chair.
Estimates based on industry surveys and pilot conversations. Your actual results depend on your booking volume, location, and posting cadence. Stylists earning under $50k/yr typically see lower absolute recovery; established stylists see more.

Where we're starting

We're launching in Reno on purpose.

Reno has roughly 250 salons and suite buildings within a 20-mile radius: big enough to prove the model, small enough that we can do this right. We're walking into salons, sitting at stations, and learning what actually works before we expand.

If you're a Reno-based stylist, you'll get founder-level attention, a charter-cohort rate, and a direct line to the team building the product. If you're outside Reno, get on the waitlist. Las Vegas and Sacramento are next.

Reno · Sparks · Carson City

Founder-led pilot. Rolling onboarding through Q3 2026.

Pilot slots
25
Charter rate
$39/mo
Reno charter cohort · 25 slots

Stop losing chairs to silence.

Get on the waitlist. We'll reach out within a week with a 15-minute call to see if you're a fit for the charter cohort.

We'll only email you about Foilwork. No newsletters. Unsubscribe anytime.
